RATPOD (Ride Around The Pioneers in One Day) supports the hundreds of kids, teens, young adults, women, caregivers and families who attend Camp Mak-A-Dream each year. Rider-raised funds enable Camp to offer cost-free, life-changing experience that helps campers cope with, fight, beat and live beyond cancer. There’s no better way to truly understand the impact of your ride than to read stories from Camp.
